2017 marks the 14th Anniversary of Hearts of Hope, the primary fundraising dinner and auction for Midwest Heart Connection. The funds attained at this event are used solely to provide the following year’s events, activities, services and education that directly benefit the families of MHC.

Some services and activities that are directly impacted by the monies donated during Hearts of Hope are: MHC’s support of Children’s Hospital & Medical Center’s Heart Station; underwriting of Camp Braveheart; purchases for Care Kits given to pediatric heart patients at the hospital for surgery; planning and execution of Family Connection opportunities held during the year; financial support for Continuing Education funds for caregivers of CHD patients; and funding of the National Pediatric Cardiology Quality Improvement Collaborative.

Our goal for this year is to attain over $100,000 allowing us to provide more education and support to the families of MHC during 2017-18.

There is still time to volunteer to help plan the event or help us the night of the event. Please fill out this briefformand we’ll be sure to contact you soon about opportunities to help.
